Ben and Kate: Cancelled Quickly or a Big Hit?

by Trevor Kimball, September 25, 2012

Ben and Kate is one of two new sitcoms airing tonight on FOX. The network is hoping that it’s a big hit in the ratings but what do you think? Will the sitcom be quickly cancelled or could it be an out-of-the-gate smash?

Ben and Kate revolves around a free-thinking brother (Nat Faxon) who moves in with his do-the-right thing sister (Dakota Johnson) to help take care of her young daughter (Maggie Elizabeth Jones). He also helps her rediscover what life has to offer while she helps bring him back to reality. Lucy Punch and Echo Kellum play their friends.

Once the other networks have their TV shows in place, Ben and Kate will air opposite ABC’s Dancing with the Stars results show, Hart of Dixie on The CW, The Voice on NBC, and NCIS on CBS. FOX has ordered 13 episodes of Ben and Kate to begin.

Sound interesting? Before you share your opinion below, here are some previews:

So, what do you think? Does Ben and Kate look like a big hit, a moderate success, or a candidate to be quickly cancelled? Will you tune in, DVR the show, or skip it altogether?

Love this show why do they keep cancelling the good ones and keep replacing them with crappy shows like reality shows that SUCK. Ben and Kate is a funny sweet show that makes you laugh and cry in a good way.
